Anti-Cheat Update
In early October, a new bot detection system was introduced to combat cheating more effectively. Within two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned, primarily on Windows PC (71%) and Switch (21%).
Detected bot infection rates initially spiked after the rollout, confirming the new technology's success in identifying bots, and then gradually declined as those accounts were removed.
